the president did something very clear when he wanted to raise tax breaks or get rid of tax breaks for the wealthy in that he forced the republicans to fight for the wealthy and the average american said we no longer understand them. if we're going to really change and do better on election day and particularly get the white house back, we better get average americans to think we're fighting for them every day not just a small group of americans. >> bobby jindal offered a few details on how to, quote, stop being the stupid party. he did also say this. >> today's conservatism is completely wrapped up in solving the hideous mess that is the federal budget. the deficits, the mammoth federal death and the shortfall on our entitlement programs. we have an obsession with government book gaming. it's a rigged game and the wrong game for us to play. no, the republican party does not need to change our principles but we might need to change just about everything else we are doing. >> listening to bobby jindal and listening to what john just had to say is this largely a messaging problem? >> no,

it's been three weeks since the congress and the president raised taxes to prevent the fiscal cliff. before the election they called it taxmageddon. many said all they needed was mitt romney to save them. even mitt romney was in awe of mitt romney's awesomeness. >> they'll probably be looking at what the polls are saying, but it looks like i'll be winning the markets and the markets will be happy. it looks if the president were to win the markets would not be so happy. my own view is if we win on november 6th, there will be a great deal of optimism about the future of this country. we'll see capital come back, and we'll see -- without actually doing anything, we'll actually get a boost in the economy. >> i mean, there would be no way the economy could sustain a kenyan muslim socialist assault on all that is good and right and american. but our markets for another few days, much less four more years. again, today is january 25th. and the markets are supposed to be in the tank. so when i heard this, i could barely understand the words. >> this is some sustained growth in the stock mark
